Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armed Conflict and Proselitization

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete - Problems with rampant OR have been identified, the page consists of a set of one-line anecdotes, and WP:OR is a fundamental pillar of encyclopedic integrity. This concerns have not been refuted by the opposition, who want to wait for expansion - The page has been moved to User:Whitesurf/Armed Conflict and Proselytizing for work until a non-OR version can be produced. As with yesterday, angry complaints/inquiries please direct to my talk page.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 02:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete - I'm not really sure what this article is supposed to be about...? Wickethewok 13:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: This article has just been started. Please allow it some time. It is about proselitization during armed conflict, for example proselitization during insurgancies like those in Nepal, Sri Lanka or Myanmar, or during the Korean war. This is an important topic in history and theology. This will be an informative article once it has been expanded.--Whitesurf 18:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - An encyclopedia would have one entry for Armed conflict and a second entry on Proselytism. An essay writer might then use those entries to write an essay connecting the two. But an encyclopedia wouldn't have an article with this name. Flying Jazz 13:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Whitesurf Kla'quot ^Sound 03:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a valid subject. There are related articles Religious conversion,Religious war, Militant Islam, Church Militant, and several articles that are parts of the category "Religious behaviour and experience" [1]; but none of them cover this significant topic.--Bandyopadhyay 04:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, obvious OR. None of the references provided are of works that make the same argument; references merely back up the background facts on which an argument is constructed. The argument might be true, but is original research as far as WP is concerned. Hornplease 08:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
